Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT testing platform

As no one else commented on the issue I'm going to request a machine having Gtk 3.8 and libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 and libwebkit2gtk-3.0.so.25 for running tests on.
The request would be to be have "stock" configuration of webkitgtk and gtk - aka distro specific patching being as low as possible in order to do some sensible testing for most distros.
